An outstanding musical journey into the realm of composer P¯eteris Vasks! His music is full of sorrow and pain, but always remains hopeful. The Navarra Quartet seems to have a profound understanding of these compositions, and moved the composer himself to tears when they rehearsed the music with him. In 2008 the Navarra Quartet won the Outstanding Young Artist Award at the MIDEM Awards in Cannes, in partnership with the International Artist Managers' Association.
